The BMP

61 Label Printer supports Code 128 and Code 39 barcode
symbology.
Ratio The ratio of a barcode is the relationship of narrow elements to wide
elements, where elements are the bars and spaces. The ratios available
are 2:1 and 3:1.
Height The height of the bars in a barcode can vary, with a minimum of 0.1 inch
(2.54 mm).
Width The width of the narrow bar of a barcode is 1, 2, or 3 dots.
Human
Readable
Human readable text is the data entered that makes up the barcode.
Because you cannot read bars and spaces, you can display the actual text
that makes up the barcode. Human Readable text can be placed above or
below the barcode symbology, or you can choose to not display it.
Check Digit A check digit is used for error detection in a barcode. It consists of a single
digit computed from the other digits in the barcode. A checkmark in the
Check Digit option box turns the function on.
